For a web server the Web Edition of Server 2003 is great -- highly recommended. Stable as a rock, very configurable, and runs on low-end hardware.
Ours is a lowly PII 400MHz with 128MB RAM, and it performs very well.

Last I heard you could only get Web Edition if you're already a volume license customer or prepared to become one - it's only available through volume licensing programmes.
Is this still true?

As far as I know, yes, it is only available through certain licensing arrangements with Microsoft.

Hi, I know that IP address 192.168.x.x is assigned to private IP address for use in our LAN. But I wonder that when our windows 2000 start it try to obtain IP address from DHCP server (if we choose to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" from TCP/IP property dialog box). If it find DHCP server then it will get an IP address from the server. If it could not find DHCP server then it will assign an IP address itself to 169.254.x.x. From here i have the question, does an IP address of 169.254.x.x is the private IP address like 192.168.x.x? If I choose IP address of 169.254.x.x and assign it (static IP address) to use in my LAN, is it possible to do that?

Private Address ranges
IANA reserved 4 address ranges to be used in private networks, these addresses won't appear on the Internet avoiding IP address conflicts:
10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255
169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254 (Reserved for Automatic Private IP Addressing)
(Automatic, meaning Non-Static.)
The range 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 is reserved for IP loopback addresses, which is mainly used for testing purposes and to check if the TCP/IP stack has correctly loaded.

Ok. Service running using local system account can be allowed to interact with desktop, right? But if service is set to use some other specified account will it be able to interact with desktop?
Also a little off - can I set an application to be running in other then current user account?
We are talking 2000, XP (and possibly NT).

Start Your Windows Programs From An NT Service

Make your MFC, VB and other Windows programs behave like NT services.

and Another here from Microsoft,

Hope that helps.

Only services running in the LocalSystem context and marked interact can create desktop windows.
Don't do it. Instead, write a remote administration API (you could use DCOM, RPC, sockets, named pipes, ...) and an administration GUI which talks to the service using that interface.
If you only want to show message boxes, you can pass the MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION flag to MessageBox, regardless of which account the service is running under.

Hi, I have a problem while choosing a license when installing windows 2000. I still don't understand between Per seat vs. Per server license mode. Whether I have read Microsoft document but I still don't understand. Does anybody give me an idea about the difference between these two license mode? If you have an example than it would be greater.

Installing with per Server licensing makes sense for small networks; each client connecting to the server uses one license. Per Seat licensing grants the license to the client, so that the client can connect to any server in a large network.
In other terms, Per Server licensing attaches the license to the server. If you have 5 licenses, 5 clients can be connected to the server at a time, and it doesn't matter which clients they are. If you use Per Seat licensing, the license is granted to the client, allowing that client to connect to any server. This makes sense in a large network with many servers.

Does anybody have any experience or information in running the IIS on NT4 with the ability to serve ASP .NET files?
If so what setup is necessary?
post.mode = postmodes.signature;
SELECT everything FROM everywhere WHERE something = something_else;

If you want to run ASP.NET web application, you need to have IIS install property in your computer. In windows NT4, you also need IIS too. To install IIS you need to install windows NT option pack and install visual studio.net. I'm not sure that windows NT option pack could be download from an internet or not. But according to my experience, i installed windows NT option pack from the CDROM at my work place.

No DNS Name Resolution If DHCP Client Service Is Not Running
View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q268674
SYMPTOMS
When you try to resolve a host name using Domain Name Service (DNS), the attempt is unsuccessful. Communication by Internet Protocol (IP) address (even to the DNS server) and the Nslookup utility against the DNS server both work correctly.
CAUSE
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client Service may not be running.

XP home or Pro
Hide (and reveal) the Recycle Bin and any desktop shortcuts you add by right clicking the desktop, pointing to Arrange Icons By, and then clicking Show Desktop Icons.
Recycle Bin Does Not Appear on the Desktop see:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=810869
Win 95,98,ME
Create a shortcut of the recycle bin to the desktop. Then you don't have to edit the registry.
Click My Computer. On the Tools menu, click View > Folder Options > View tab, and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box. Click Yes when the warning message appears.
In the C drive, locate the Recycle Bin folder, and then drag the Recycle Bin folder to the desktop.
If this happend right after a new/upgrade install of w2k or xp on an old computer, the bios is noncompliant.
